The activist and one-time journalist is cofounder of the Nemtsov Foundation and co-runs the MA programme in Russian Studies at Charles University in Prague.
Nemtsova discussed such issues as the current situation in her home country, the outlook for the future, perceptions of the war on Ukraine among the Russian opposition today, and her own exile.
